Specification decorative lighting devices The present invention relates to lighting devices, particularly low voltage reflective lighting devices. ector lamps). Low-voltage reflective lighting devices have low power consumption, long-lasting It is used for exhibition lighting, etc., which requires a long lifespan and an acceptable level of heat generation.

In well-known low-voltage lighting devices, reflectors are used to provide accurate light beams. This allows for appropriate control of highlight illumination, profile illumination, and luminous flux, creating a comfortable environment. Designed to create an environment. Such lighting devices are equipped with curved lights that serve as protection. It can be manufactured using surface or planar glass. this glass is tough Protect the bulb and reflective surfaces from the environment. Such lighting devices are manufactured by G.E. Manufactured by GE Thorn Lamps Lim1-ted.

Additionally, attachments for these lighting devices are available which serve as decorative accessories. It is possible to However, attachments such as those manufactured by said company is a special type that can be easily attached to existing lighting equipment or furniture in place. Requires adapter. In order to install such a lighting device, the lighting device itself must be You have to buy a relatively expensive adapter outside.

The object of the invention is to provide a single lighting device that can incorporate decorative accessories. That's true.

According to the invention, transparent or translucent decorative accessories or reflectors can be used. disposed on the outer edge of an annular rim, and the appendage is complementary to the dimensions of said annular rim. on the annular edge, and pressing the rims together to release the appendage. It is characterized by comprising an annular fixture for firmly fixing it to the reflector. , a bowl-shaped reflector arranged symmetrically around the optical axis; low voltage reflective lighting, including a low voltage light source permanently placed in a fixed position within the reflector Equipment is provided.

The reflector and decorative appendages can be formed separately and after the light source is placed. permanently joined. Replace or replace lighting equipment or add decorative accessories when necessary Replace or replace the entire device or as a single unit.

Alternatively, the decorative appendage may be received by said annular fastener. Temporarily fixed to a suitable reflector.

This annular fastener can be a screw, clip, bayonet, etc. like this Depending on the implementation, the user can choose any type of decorative appendage available and use it. Can be easily installed into existing reflective lighting equipment.

Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows the present invention having a tubular appendage with an open end that narrows slightly in the direction of the projected beam. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a partial chamber of a first embodiment of the lighting device;

Figure 2 has a tubular appendage similar to Figure 1 modified by beveled end surfaces. 3 is an elevational view of a second embodiment of the device according to the invention; FIG.

Figures 3.4 and 5 show further implementations in which the various appendages are each closed at their lower ends. Show type.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a partial chamber showing another configuration for attaching accessories of the device of the present invention. Ru.

In the configuration shown in each embodiment, the reflective illumination device 10 is arranged symmetrically around the optical axis. The placed bowl-shaped reflector 11 and the low voltage voltage tab permanently placed in place. and a light source 12 of the Nungsten halogen lamp type. The dog has a shape on its inner surface. A polygon formed (e.g. formed in a honeycomb pattern 13 or a rectangular pattern) Made with reflective surfaces. A reflective coating on the inner surface directs most of the heat through the reflector shell. This helps to direct the rays of light forward while allowing them to pass backwards.

The outer surface of the bowl may be flat or preferably slightly ruffled. In this case, the reflector 11 is molded from transparent glass or plastic and has a pattern. 13 appears faintly or slightly blurred to the human eye.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the open end of the reflector 11 is - The film is formed in the recess 16 formed in the flange 17 provided at the lower end of 11. It is closed by a flat plate lens 15. This lens protects the reflective coating and Prevents injury when the lamp breaks.

The decorative appendage 18 consists of a tube 19, which has a flange on a rim at its upper end. 20. A recess 21 provided in this flange 20 receives the lens 15. .

The unitary composition of device 10, lens 15 and attachment 18 includes an inwardly facing flap. It is fixed by a ring 22-shaped attachment device having screws 23 and 24, and is rolled or Deformation of the ring by the pressing means permanently bonds the components.

The attachment shown in the embodiment shown in Figure 2 is the same as that in Figure 1, except that the bottom edge is cut diagonally. different.

In such devices, the attachment and other lighting devices are made separately and a coupling ring is used. Use to combine the entire device.

The embodiment shown in Figures 3.4 and 5 shows the decorative appendage in a completely closed configuration; These are each formed on the end face of a cap that grows an axially extending cone 25. It consists of a cap that grows parallel prisms 26 and a dome 27. This close In this configuration, the dish lens is omitted.

In FIG. 6 the link serving to attach the decorative appendage 31 to the reflector 11 The plug 30 has a single flange 32 at its upper end and an internal thread 33 at its lower end. An external screw 34 is installed on the attachment, which secures the lens to the reflector. make it possible. Both of the embodiments shown above use screws instead of flanges. It is possible to have attached attachments.

In the configuration described with respect to Figure 6, the user may use any available decorative accessories. Accessories can be attached to the lighting device without purchasing additional equipment.

Furthermore, patent Nu2153986 (UK GE Thorn Lamps Lim1 The vine attachment device (groove 40) engages the clip of the holder as described in ted). It is also possible to provide

Decorative appendages come in many shapes, such as hollow cylinders, domes, cones and multipillars. It is possible to take a mid shape.

Appendices can add impressive visual effects, for example by blending into adjacent fabrics or by adding devices or installations. By making it protrude from the surface on which it is placed, it helps to make it appear.

A follower of the well-known reflective lighting system provides such a lighting system with decorative appendages. It softens the traditional spotlight-like appearance and softens harsh lighting effects to brighten up your home. can be suitable for any environment including: The device of the present invention is installed Used as an accessory or protruding from a wall or ceiling to create a more impressive appearance. Gives a visual impact and a great conspicuous effect.

Therefore, although it is considered to have a studio look or appeal, it is not suitable for such equipment and fixtures. For people who don't want a generic design, this invention provides a solution. It is something that can be achieved.

The present invention provides decorative attachments for a wide range of fixtures for conventional low voltage reflective lighting devices. The present invention provides an improved low voltage reflective lighting device that allows the use of

thoughts fishing A bowl-shaped reflector with low-voltage reflective illuminators arranged symmetrically around the optical axis. and a low voltage light source permanently disposed in position within the reflector. transparent or A translucent decorative appendage is placed on the outer edge of the annular rim of the reflector, the appendage being Growing a rim at the annular edge of complementary dimensions to the dimensions of the first annular rim. annular A fixing device presses the rims together to attach the decorative appendage to the reflector. Helps to fix it.
